EastEnders spoilers: Reiss suffers Phil’s wrath
A raging Phil storms to 25 Albert Square as the day of Reiss’ debt repayment arrives. He has not yet approached Phil nor revealed to Sonia that he owes money.
Tonight, Reiss attempts to coax Sonia for a day out of the Square to avoid the deadline, but she refuses. Sonia feels touched as Kathy offers to throw an engagement party for them both, but her happiness quickly fades when Phil aggressively knocks on their door looking for his money.
Reiss is forced to explain to a clueless Sonia why Phil is angry and the situation escalates before Sharon and Teddy jump in to diffuse the tension.
Sonia buys Reiss time by pleading with Sharon, but Teddy steps up and surprisingly offers to take the debt from Phil.
A shocked Reiss agrees and shakes his hand. Could there be an ulterior motive to Teddy’s actions? What does he want from Reiss?

Later on, Cindy discovers Gina searching through Junior’s phone at Beales Eels and asks what she’s up to. Gina admits her plan and Cindy then relays this to Junior in a secret meeting.
Junior disappoints Cindy by skipping an arranged affair meeting and she grows angry after going to the Vic and finding him there with another woman, Maxine, there with him.
